Chapter 125: Master, don’t run!

Qiao Wan was wearing a lake-green dress and holding a green lotus lantern in her hand, her clothes fluttering as she passed by. Behind her was a sky full of yellow sand, the sound of swords and spears was endless, and amid the gleam of swords and shadows was her resolute and determined back.

She once thought that as long as she tried hard to please and gave her all, she would always get a little mercy in return.

But she never thought that it was just her own delusion, and everything she did was not what Xie Yanli needed at all.

Qiao Wan's beautiful, crystal clear eyes drooped slightly, and her long eyelashes hid the sadness in her eyes. However, in a flash, her eye sockets became wet and red, and tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

While exiting the mining mission territory, she opened the gang interface with trembling hands. After a two-second pause, she closed her eyes and ruthlessly pressed the "Exit" button in the lower right corner.

Are you sure you want to quit the Yizui Xiaoyaoge gang?

yes.

[Gang] System: Player Liu Yunwanwan has withdrawn from the Yizui Xiaoyao Pavilion gang. All good things must come to an end in the world, so please take care of yourselves.

What followed was a notification that the system sent specifically to Qiao Wan.

[Private Chat] System: You have quit the Yizui Xiaoyaoge gang. Players will not be able to join other gangs within three days.

After reading this message, Qiao Wan's heavy mood suddenly relaxed a lot. But after all, she had invested a lot of feelings in Xie Yanli, she was happy for him and worried for him. Letting go so suddenly made her feel more or less depressed.

What's more, she left in such an embarrassing manner. Miss Qiao had never experienced her pride being defeated like this.

I was wandering aimlessly in the game world alone, and without knowing when, a drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky. The raindrops hit my body, it didn't hurt, but it was icy cold, and my heart was chilled.

People around me come and go, riding horses, running, or flying with light skills. They came and went quickly, but they came in groups and laughed and talked all the time.

Looking at this bustling and beautiful scene, even someone as proud as Qiao Wan inexplicably felt a sense of loneliness.

Just at this moment, the mineral occupation activity ended and a system message popped up in the world.

[World] System: The Bi Hai Liu Yun Pavilion gang was invincible and defeated the Yi Zui Xiao Yao Pavilion gang with an absolute advantage. Congratulations on winning the right to develop the mineral resources in the southwest corner of the territory for one week.

The world suddenly became lively. Some people congratulated, some were jealous, and even more were gossipers.

[World] Momo Wuyan: Did Yizui Xiaoyao Pavilion offend Bihai Liuyun Pavilion? They have been defeated with absolute advantage for four consecutive weeks hhh~

[World] Who stole my pants: a murder of passion or revenge?

[World] Stars in the Sky and the Big Dipper: These two gangs might really have a grudge against each other. I found that whenever there is a server-wide activity, Yizui Xiaoyao Pavilion will encounter Bihai Liuyun Pavilion, and then be beaten black and blue. If you don't believe it, go and look at the dungeon records. The Bi Hai Liu Yun Pavilion must be above the Yi Zui Xiao Yao Pavilion!

[World] Tick-tick-tick-tick: It really is! But I haven’t heard of any grudges between the two gangs?

[World] Li Shang Mu Xue: Our gang has always been kind to others, and we have no hatred with the people from Bi Hai Liu Yun Pavilion. Everything is accidental. We get along very well, so please don't make random guesses.

[World] Li Shang Mu Xue: As for winning or losing, it's just a game, just for fun, there's no need to take it too seriously.

As the male god and RMB god of this server, Li Shang Mu Xue spoke, the world was silent for a few seconds. Just as the fans were trying to suppress their inner excitement, the top master of this server who had been elusive since the server was opened spoke——

[World] Feifei Junzi: No, I did it on purpose.

【World】Feifei Gentleman: Because I don’t like you.

[World] Feifei Gentleman: As for what you mean by playing around, well, if you have the ability, come and beat me!

[World] Feifei Gentleman: Come on, Li Shang Mu Xue, come and beat me!

The number one expert in this server just sent four messages in a row. His tone was so arrogant and his attitude was so overbearing that people couldn't help but be impressed by him.

The world was silent for a full half minute, and then everyone's screens were filled with frantic chatter.

[World] It’s Xiao Qiao: Ahhhhhhhhh, he’s so damn handsome, this gentleman is really the domineering president! I like you so much (shy)~

[World] Tianzizi: Group photo, group photo, the first words of the best player in this server (sparkling starry eyes)

[World] Who stole my pants: So, was it a murder of passion or revenge? No one answered me?

…

[World] All the flowers have fallen: What do you mean you don’t like it? It’s obvious that he is jealous that our gang leader is more handsome than him!

Amidst a wave of admiration, this piece of news suddenly popped up. After everyone was stunned, they realized that it might really be true. After all, Li Shang Muxue is really beautiful and pleasing to the eye, while Fei Fei Junzi is not even on the list and does not even have the qualifications to participate in the competition. Does this mean that he knows that he is ugly, so he modified his appearance after using the scanner?

However, no matter how heatedly the discussion was held, the two great masters stopped speaking. As for Qiao Wan, she was originally feeling sad about her unrequited love, but she accidentally saw Xie Yanli speaking on the world channel, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up into a sarcastic smile.

Compared to Xie Yanli's indifference, the good friends that Qiao Wan just met tonight actually brought her some warmth. First, Fanhua Sijin, Qianxiao Yanran and others sent messages to the private chat box. Qiao Wan made up an excuse to fool them, and then Zhou Yuan also sent a message.

[Private Chat] Zhou Erfushi: Miss Qiao, why did you quit the gang? Is someone bullying you? Tell me and I'll take care of him for you!

Seeing this, Qiao Wan shook his head with amusement.

[Private Chat] Liuyun Wanwan: Yes, Xie Yanli bullied me, do you want to help me beat him up?

[Private Chat] Repeated cycle: ...

[Private Chat] Zhou Erfushi: Well, can I take back what I said before?

Qiao Wan smiled and muttered "What a coward" before replying.

[Private Chat] Liuyun Wanwan: Okay, who dares to bully me, Qiao Wan? I just don’t want to see Xie Yanli and Mo Yuqinghe being so affectionate, it’s disgusting!

Seeing that Zhou Yuan still wanted to persuade her to return to the gang, Qiao Wan blocked the private chat directly after she finished speaking, and her world suddenly returned to silence.

Even those people who she had just met today sent messages of concern, but Xie Yanli never said a word. She had actually been mentally prepared for this, but...

After all, this is someone I truly loved, so I can't help feeling a little empty and lonely in my heart.

After closing the annoying chat window, Qiao Wan realized that she had unknowingly walked to an unknown mountain. She looked at the misty stream below the mountain. The lush trees in the distance made a slight rustling sound in the wind, weaving a clear and leisurely melody.

Qiao Wan raised her hand as if possessed by a ghost, put it to her mouth in a trumpet shape, and then closed her eyes and shouted loudly: "Ah ...

Just as she finished yelling, a cold and pleasant muffled laugh came from the peach tree not far behind her. Qiao Wan's body stiffened and he slowly turned around and looked back.

The breeze blew past, and petals fell under the splendid peach tree. Among the charming branches, a man in a fluttering white robe with a jade flute on his waist was standing with his hands crossed behind his head, his posture lazy yet elegant. On that handsome face, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked at him with a smile.

Qiao Wan was stunned and her face turned red involuntarily.

Of course, it wasn’t because she was shy when seeing the handsome man, although that might be part of the reason, but the main reason was that she was seen in such an embarrassing state that she couldn’t help but blush with shame.

"What's so funny? Haven't you seen people venting their frustration?" Qiao Wan said angrily with his eyes wide open.

"Of course I have." The man was not annoyed when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "But I have never seen a girl who looks so good even when she is angry."

Qiao Wan was stunned, and the annoyance in her heart dissipated a little, and a blush appeared on her bright little face.

"Don't think I won't be angry just because you praise me for being pretty." Qiao Wan stared at him with her bright eyes, which were full of water waves and captivating, but she was unaware of it and thought she was quite imposing. "Not only did you eavesdrop on me, but you also laughed at me so arrogantly... Um——"

Before she finished her words, the man jumped down from the tree and moved in front of her in an instant. He bent his slender index finger and gently tapped her forehead. He smiled helplessly and said, "You are such a scoundrel. It was obviously you who disturbed my sleep, but you blame me for eavesdropping on you."

Qiao Wan subconsciously reached out and touched his forehead, then looked up at the person in front of him in disbelief.

His voice was already very pleasant to the ear, and now mixed with a hint of doting, it was even more gentle and pleasant. He lowered his head slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of smile in his eyes as he looked at her, which made Qiao Wanqing lose her mind involuntarily.

This was the first time since she was born that she was treated like this by someone other than her parents.

She was not treated as the spoiled and willful eldest daughter of the Qiao family, but as an ordinary young girl.

"What are you daydreaming about? Why aren't you talking?" He moved a little closer, and his cold voice slowly sounded in her ears.

Qiao Wan came back to her senses immediately, thinking back to what he had just said. She knew she was in the wrong, but she was not one to admit defeat. She had no choice but to purse her lips. After a long while, she managed to stammer out a sentence: "...but you laughed at me."

"Well, you're right. I was indeed laughing at you." The man nodded seriously.

Qiao Wan was angry and was about to speak, but then she heard him continue leisurely: "Are you relieved by just a few insignificant words like that?"

Qiao Wan looked at him in confusion: "What do you mean by that?"

As soon as she asked this question, she saw a small box pop up on the screen - player Feifei Junzi requests to add you as a friend, do you agree? (90s)

Feifei gentleman?

Why does it feel familiar?

Have you seen it somewhere?

Thinking of this, Qiao Wan looked over and saw the person opposite him waiting calmly, without any urging or impatience. After confirming that she really didn't know him, she clicked "Agree". Almost at the moment when the two became friends, two screenshots and a URL were sent to her.

"What is this?" Qiao Wan asked in a low voice as she clicked on the screenshot and URL to check it out.

The man's cold voice sounded again: "Marry me."

The author has something to say: ??Xie Fei: Get married! Bridal chamber! ! Hehehehe! ! !

Hu Jiao: Kid, you really think too much. The bridal chamber is just for chatting under the quilt┓(???`?)┏
